Karamu House 2.0

A legendary Northeast Ohio theater is facing some tough choices as it enters its second century.  Karamu House was in the midst of a 100th birthday season, when news came of severe budget cuts last week, slashing both staff and programming.  A study from this past Fall indicates that minority-led arts groups across the country are having similar problems balancing the books. ideastream's David C. Barnett reports on how Karamu is finding its way forward.

Dave DeOreo is coordinating producer for Ideastream Public Media’s arts and culture team.
